WDM Magazine Issue 13

The newest issue of the WDM Magazine should have hit your mailboxes last week. If you're not a resident of West Des Moines, you can access it on our website, or by clicking here. In addition to the usual programming information for Parks and Recreation, the Library, and Human Services, you will find a comprehensive discussion of the various Boards and Commissions in our community. Members of these boards, from Plan and Zoning to Human Rights, take their responsibilities seriously in an effort to better our community. These appointed positions can be held by any citizen, and applications are available at City Hall. Reading this article, viewing our website, and even attending board meetings are great way to get to know the issues of the City and meet some of the involved citizens.

Practical information regarding the sign code, solid waste cart replacement, and yard waste disposal tips are included along with other city news.

The magazine also introduces our newest neighborhood park in West Des Moines. Quail Cove Park on 52nd Street opened this summer and covers nearly 10 hilly acres. It features two playgrounds and three picnic shelters, and we plan to develop a basketball court in the future. Visit Quail Cove park if you're in the neighborhood and see what it has to offer--it is a neat and scenic spot.
